Pit Of Darkness

[Verse 1]
Stare at the ceiling
Clock hands drag like chains
You say you're fine
You're fine
But the words taste strange
Clothes on the floorboards
Ash in an empty glass
Every mirror in this house
Just lets you walk past
[Chorus]
Can you give it all away
Lost in your pit of darkness?
Remaining still while the world turns ruthless
Can you climb up from the grave
Or are you clinging to the harness?
Remaining still
Remaining still in your pit of darkness
[Verse 2]
Phone face down
Still buzzing
Names that you never read
You built a throne from silence
Crowned yourself with dread
You keep that window shuttered
Afraid of what breaks through
But every crack of daylight
Looks a little like truth
[Chorus]
[Bridge]
[low vocal register]
Bite marks on your tongue
From every word you never said
You say
“I’m safer underground”
But you’re already half dead
[growl]
If you’re tired of sinking
Scratch your way out of the stone
If the shadows feel like comfort
Why do you feel so alone?
[Chorus]

rock, Crunchy alternative rock with male vocals, mid-tempo. Tight, palm-muted verses that feel tense and confined, then choruses explode with open chords, ride cymbal, and stacked shout-along doubles. Gritty bass drives the low end, with a fuzzy lead line weaving through the bridge. Vocal starts close and restrained, then cracks into a raw, shouted hook by the final chorus., alternative rock
